Director: Ricky Wood. Writer: Rick Wood. Cast: Elizabeth Brown, Lisa Cameron, Lindsay Cromar, Shian Denovan, Samuel Feeney and David Hayman. Sawney: Flesh of Man was shot as an indie production in the United Kingdom. This film takes some of its mythology from a 15th Century legend, Sawney Bean. This cannibal, allegedly, stalked and killed over a thousand travellers in the Highlands of Scotland, with his ravenous family. Eventually, the family members were captured and executed. But, Rick Wood's script brings Sawney back from the dead, to haunt young lads and lasses. This film is excellently shot by Ricky Wood and the diverse characters add to the already moody scenery. The story is fairly straight forward. A detective is trying to catch a serial killer, who is chopping up local women. The bodies are only partially discovered (the rest has been eaten). Det. Munro (Gavin Mitchell) enlists the aid of a local journo',...

The legend of Sawney Bean has been the inspiration (at least partially) for a lot of horror movies over the years: The Hills Have Eyes, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, even the Wrong Turn franchise, but until now there has not been a film directly influenced by the legend. And there still isn’t. Based on the (in)famous legend of Sawney Bean, the patriarch of a cannibal family that killed over 1,000 people near the end of the 15th-century, Sawney: Flesh of Man instead updates the tale to modern-day Scotland and sees religious psychopath Sawney (Hayman) stalk Glasgow in a black cab, abducting unholy souls for his communion of sacrifices. With his insane family of inbred killers, Sawney tortures and eats their victims saving the...

Ah FrightFest how I love thee. Yes, my annual excursion to Scotland for Glasgow FrightFest continues this year, and I couldn’t be happier! This years line-up is strong, Very strong, with plenty of variety and some great film picks by Alan, Ian, Paul and Greg. Plus the appearance of Norwegian drama Hellsfjord! Of all the films showing this year there’s one that I most excited to see – Detention of the Dead… I’ve tried my hardest to cover the film as much as possible over the past year as it looks like my “cup of tea”, so for it to show at FrightFest is awesome (although to be fair I already knew that was in the line-up). However the real big surprise is the appearance of Neil Jordan’s Byzantium in the line-up – the Scottish crowd is notoriously “blood-thirtsy” so I hope Jordan’s film isn’t too sedate for the Glasgow crowd.

For centuries, thousands have vanished without a trace… I will admit – this trailer is totally disgusting! So, my recommendation is – don’t eat your lunch while watching it! Sawney: Flesh Of Man is an upcoming horror movie which comes from director Ricky Wood and today we have the first trailer for the whole thing, so – I don’t know, maybe you should check it out, or whatever…
The movie stars David Hayman as a religious psychopathic killer named Sawney, who drives a devilish Black Cab, stalking the towns and cities, abducting unholy souls for his communion of sacrifices.
Sawney’s insane family of inbred killers Judd and Jake, use their agility to wreak slaughter and havoc among their victims, who are then dragged to Sawney’s lair in the hills, where they are raped, tortured and cannibalised. Sawney with his skillful surgical blade removes the appetizing pieces of human flesh...

Former Melrose Place star Thomas Calabro, who just signed on to appear as a murder suspect on Castle, will also appear in a January episode of NCIS, TV Guide reports.
He'll play Sam Feeney, a charismatic businessman who runs a high-end billiards club, and a former military officer tough enough to handle the regulars who get out of hand.
Good to see Michael Mancini's keeping busy these days. Should be a fun episode to watch. For more on TV's #1 show, check out our lengthy NCIS review from last night.
